Rain Garden
 | Rain Garden SolutionAfter a heavy rain, if you notice that water tends to pour off your roof, rush down your driveway and end up in the city sewer, a rain garden could be a healthy solution. These shallow depressions are designed to channel and slow the rain down so it can be filtered naturally through the soil. They remain wet for a day or two, then are dry until it rains again. As long as you locate them away from your home’s foundation, a rain garden can be constructed in sun or shade. Follow our step by step guide below to learn how you can rehabilitate an area that tends to collect water and turn it into a lush and beautiful landscape. |
